Is this my BEST EVER RELIC in 24 YEARS?!? - Early indications are it’s from 1400’s

Another day and another amazing group of coins and relics potentially dating back to the 1400’s 😮 🤩
Our ‘Scotectival’ was a great success!!! multiple silvers and relics galore and even Simòn found something!!

18:20 - A half mold for figurines (?) You can see the half of the pouring funnel at the bottom. If it's made from stone, it could withstand molted lead or tin. If it's made of lead, wax or liquid clay.

[@raymondpiper8294]

Just going to comment say the same ,then read your comment 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@raymondpiper8294]

I did a google and its perfrctly possible to cast tin in a lead mould, tin being also used in pilgrim badges .👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Wow wow wow 🤩 amazing!!! That’s fantastic!!! Thanks so much for the great help!!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Raymond !! Amazing!! I couldn’t understand why a mould would be made from lead as it would melt but yes, to pour tin of that doesn’t melt…. I think you’ve cracked it! What a star!!! This could be incredibly rare!!! St Andrews pilgrim badges are rare but a mould for a pilgrims badge is almost unheard of 🤩 thanks so much

[@shady_knights]

it would be amazing to find a tin pilgrim badge made from this and match it with the mould.

[@terryt.1643]

That lead piece with St. Andrew looks like half a mold maybe for making small statues? The bottom looks like where melted liquid would be poured in?

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks Terry, definitely looks like a mould but the suggestion is maybe it was for clay? That would make sense as any metal would melt the mould! Best wishes

@@thescottishdetectorist yes, I wondered about that, too. Maybe if it’s poured plaster or wax?

I have a feeling that, that lead saint Andrew was part of a mold for casting, two small notches either side for tying and looks a larger hole on the bottom for pouring in molten metal maybe there's a top to it somewhere?? Just a thought 🤔

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks. I did wonder about a mould but because it’s made from lead it will have a very low melting point so If you were casting bronze or copper, silver, gold or even lead the mould would melt? What do you think?

Hello my friend. First of all, I'll have you know, that we Americans are entertained by your lovely Scottish accent! Furthermore, metal detecting over there is the ultimate dream for any metal detectorist . The oldest artifacts can only possibly date back to 1492 here in America. So, keep up the good work! Thx dmg 14:40

[@susanbdusan2785]

The wonderful St. Andrew could be made of a lead alloy (Portable Antiquities Database) and then, it would be rugged enough to have been used as a seal matrix or a stamp for making pilgrim badges, for example.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks Susan. That seems to be the suggestion from a few and I’ve looked it up and it makes a lot of sense. If it is I can only find one example with St Andrews in existence 🤩 and 1400’s sounds likely 🤩

[@seeleeuk168]

At about 7 minutes in, the metal object could be a child's antique miniature flat iron stand.

Cracking find, can't help with the ID other than to say that the way St Andrew is depicted looks medieval in style, strikes me as odd that the design is incised rather than in relief though - I would be thinking mould or seal matrix if it was not for the fact its made of lead. The brass claw/paw looks like decoration from the foot of a table leg, someone probably had a bonfire of some old furniture 80 years or so ago

[@terryt.1643]

Oops, 😊 wrong saint, St. Anthony finds lost things, but it looks like St. Andrew sure helped today!

[@oculusangelicus8978]

That lead "weight" with St. Andrew on it is actually a mold for pour material in, you have one half of the mold, there is another half to it but what is weird about it is that it is made of lead, but it might have another metal alloyed with it and that it was used to make lead molds of St. Andrew. You can tell it's a mold because it has the little cut out at the bottom of it, which would actually be the top and the other half would have the same cut out in the same location so when you put the two halves together, and then tied them tightly to prevent any metal from leaking out the sides, the would pour the molten metal in through that cut out and let it cool. That is seriously cool item you have there, it's too bad you haven't found the other half, you might be able to pour a St. Andrew figurine from a very old mold. It might be Victorian, or it might be older, I don't know the history of such things, but it is certainly a very cool Mold for making Figurines.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks!! Yes many other have said the same as you. The suggestion is as it’s lead it was easy to cut the shape as it’s soft and pilgrims badges were poured with tin and tin wouldn’t melt the lead. If it’s for making pilgrims badges it could be 1400’s and would be ultra ultra rare…. As you say…. Need to find the other bit!!!

Could your rectangular lead object be a medieval communion wafer mould? It certainly has some obvious religious connection, and the size seems about right.

[@kathharper]

I didn't see anyone else mention this, but I think your Saint Andrew relic may have a scratched drawing on the reverse. See around @39:50 tto @40:01 - there are lines that have a definite diamond pattern like some sort of robes, and a "swash" from upper right to lower left that looks like a sash or something. Which makes it even MORE interesting, It's either decorated, or scratched naturally but the scratching looks distinctly intentional. The more I look at the still at that point in the video, the more I see and am convinced there's more art on this than the figure on the reverse. Am I nuts or is there art there too? (those aren't mutually exclusive options)

That lead mould is an absolutely stellar find. I honestly think it could have been used to cast wax figurines that were then melted away by pouring in other metals in a reverse mould or whatever they are called. That seems most likely to me as i think any molten metal like tin would run a risk of ruining the finer details of the impressions in the lead or sticking to the mould itself upon cooling. I would much rather find that relic than a hammered silver coin any day. Outstanding and I hope you share the results in a future video when you hear from experts at a museum. Cheers mate!
